A log manifold is not a good idea, because the truck manifolds will actually flow better and last longer. Take a look at the design, and after serious hours of thinking, we are still using the truck manifolds and running the wires all out one hole just like the other vehicles I do. Should work great, the coils fit good still in the valve cover area. So no more issues now.

I am planing on using a GT35 series turbo on each wing, the rest of the specs I will keep to myself for now. But this might change according to how well my 5.3 truck runs with the 30 series turbos I have on them now.

Block is pretty much done now, just gotta get to assembling the motor and preparing for alot of fab work.

Oh yeah, I would hate to leave out a pic of what the current turbo on the 5.3 looks like.
